Playing standing up: how to position the strap?

Hi folks,

I've been playing more solo gigs lately, and I've kind of gone back and forth between sitting and standing.  I'm used to playing 3 finger while standing, but with clawhammer, it still feels very odd.  

I just switched my strap around so that the left hand end attaches to a string tied around the peghead.  That seemed a little better but still felt odd and unstable.  Does anybody have a suggestion for the best way to secure a strap on an open back for standing clawhammer?  

Sidenote:  I removed the wire armrest that came with the banjo, but now I'm wondering if I should put it (or a different armrest) back on.  Opinions on arm rests?
